Validar

Validar is one of the main antagonists in the game. He is the father of the Avatar, and plots to use the avatar as a vessel for the fell dragon, Grima. Furthermore, he is a member of the Grimleal who wields Grima's Truth, an unobtainable dark tome said to channel its power from Grima.

He attacked a village years before the events of the game to recruit a young Aversa by brainwashing her and then training her to be his puppet.

In an alternate future, he kills Emmeryn in chapter 6. Lucina prevents this and helps defeat him. He replaces Gangrel as King of Plegia after being resurrected by Grima. Later, he attacks the group in chapter 23 and is killed. Spoiler - Click to see/hide
